TWO WHITE HENS

13.5x32" acrylic on linen.........$1200

Look at these two beauties! Once again I have to say chickens always remind me of my grandmother. She had chickens on everything from aprons to coffee cups. And somehow looked a little like a hen herself...in a good way!  This is a good  example of high key as opposed to low key. The contrast makes things really pop. Not just the contrast in darks and lights but the cools and warms too.
